Paul Tuns: A report published by the European Parliamentary Forum for Sexual and Reproductive Rights (EPF) is being used to pressure countries, described as "laggards" in the media and by left-wing politicians, to increase access to contraception. The EPF's "Contraception Atlas" ranks countries on contraception access, counseling and online information and gives each country a numeric grade. Key to getting an "excellent" [...]

Paul Tuns: The Non-Government Organization Committee on the Status of Women, New York (NGO CSW/NY) banned pro-life NGOs from holding official side-events at the Commission on the Status of Women, from March 14-25.

By Andrew Lawton: Once again, the Conservatives are searching for a new leader, and once again it seems the party is rehashing the same fight over its identity and future. At the time I’m writing this, the Conservative leadership race has six candidates, including the scrappy frontrunner, the media favourite, the social conservative, the outsider, the renegade, and the “Who the heck [...]
Paul Tuns Editor's Note: When The Interim went to press, former MP Leona Alleslev, MP Marc Dalton (Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge), and former candidates Joel Etienne and Bobby Singh were not yet candidates.

Rory Leishman: Then-prime minister Pierre Trudeau promised that the 1982 Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms would enhance the constitutional rights and fundamental freedoms of Canadians. Instead, the opposite is true: Canadians today are demonstrably less free than they were 40 years ago. As evidence, consider the unprecedented, freedom-stifling provisions of Bill C-4, the notorious legislation adopted in December by Parliament with [...]
AndrewLawton: Call them the honks heard ‘round the world. The convoy that rolled across Canada in January before making downtown Ottawa the freest spot in the country sent a message about much more than vaccine mandates. In a country whose pandemic restrictions have been defined by complacency and acceptance rather than resistance, the convoy was the moment at which Canadians decided they’d [...]
Donald DeMarco Commentary: Dialogue is a beautiful word, replete with the promise of two opposing sides getting together in peace and harmony. Socrates was a great champion of dialogue. His perpetual frustration, however, was that his opponents were securely entrenched in a monologue – talking to themselves. This has been my problem in trying to engage abortion supporters in a dialogue. One [...]

The state house and state senate must pass bills approving a constitutional amendment in back-to-back sessions and then the state voters must approve it in a referendum. In 2019, both houses of the state legislature passed the Right to Personal Reproductive Autonomy which would recognize abortion as a [...]
